the High Street Church. delivered his lee
ture on "St Peters and the Vatican at
Rome" Rev. Mr.. Wright, pastor of the
church, said. as he rose to introduce the
speaker: 'For the first time, SO far as |
know, we have made an attempt to have a
course of entertainments. We are pecul-
iarly happy In having DR.. Fem to open the
course, and we are sure that because he has
visited Rome and has seen the places OF
which he will speak, that the lecture will be
very interesting. 1t gives me great pleasure
to introduce Mr.. Fem as lecturer Of the
evening, and my only regret is that cannot
present him to a larger audience"
Mr.. Fem opened his lecture, which was
both interesting and instructive, with a de-
scription of the environment of Rome, the
exhilarating atmosphere and the beautiful
sunsets, after which he proceeded at once to
describe the Vatican. He spoke Of its stair
case, which he said was the most elegant
in the world; its art gallery and wonderful
library which contains the Oldest copy of the
New Testament in existence. This library
has been gathering since the fourth cen
tury, when it consisted Of works. on parch-
ment, In the eleventh and twelfth centu-
ries the largest additions were made TO it.
After dwelling to a considerable length upon
works of art here to be found. the lecturer
introduced the audience to the vast church
of st. Peters. To give the audience an idea
of its immensity, he said tnat the square
bounded by Congress, State, Spring and
High streets was about as large as the foun-
dation'of st. Peters at Rome. The lecturer
spoke of the solemnity, grandeur and archi-
lecture of the great cathedral. and delighted
his listeners with an interesting account of
the cost and building Of the church. The
speaker said that $4,000 are required annu-
ally to keep the cathedral In repairs.
The next entertainment in the course will
be lecture by Rev. f. t. Bsyley entitled
Mysteries, and will be delivered Monday

the President is to be called upon his return
to the misdoings of another Of his Federal
officers in New Jersey. Ex-Congressman
Thomas M. Ferrell, Mr.. Clevelands Internal

call to the Democratic voters of Glassboro'
township to meet for the purpose of electing
delegates to Democratic nominating con-
yention. In the Presidents famous order
against office holders in politics he said
quirements of official place will prevent
their assuming active conduct of political
campaigns" Collector Ferrell appears to
have turned that order down just as almost
every other Otlice-hOlder has done.

Especial to the Press.l

HALIFAX, Oct. 10.-Sir Charles Upper,
Minister of Finance, and Canada's acting
high commissioner in England, was today
unseated for Cumberland, because of brib-
cry and other illegal practices by his agents
at the last general election. If Sir Charles
Tuppe: again seeks reelection, he will be
successful, and will probably be returned by
acclamation.
He left for Ottawa tonight to personally
communicate the views and wishes of the
imperial government, and Chief Commits
sioner Chamberlain to Sir John Macdonald.
Sir John has been generally mentioned as
the Canadian Commissioner, but it is under
stood in inside circles here that Canada will
be represented by Sir Charles Tupper. His
position in the Cabinet and country is sec
ond to that of Sir John Macdonald. He has
had extensive diplomatic experience in Lon
don and Madrid. 1t was his mission to
Washington that induced Mr.. Bayard to pre-
pose the appointment of the commission.
He may also be said to be England's third
representative. Moreover, he has Just been
comforting with Newfoundland on the ques-
tion, practically, as special envoy from the
colo nial office. Hon. John Thompson, Min
lister of Justice. will doubtless be associated
with Sir Charles Tupper as the Canadian le-
gal adviser. Newfoundland will send an

LONDON, Oct. 10.
The London Post today, commenting on
the fisheries dispute, says: "The main con
tention of America is that no nation has the
right of jurisdiction over the sea beyond
three-mile limit. On the Pacific, America is
acting in fiat contradiction to any such prin-
ciple Of Interstate comfy or treaty rights.
British vessels have been arrested far out
crews imprisoned. Americas Pacific claims
form an excellent counter argument to the
Atlantic claims, and as such will be of great
and direct value to Mr.. Chamberlain"
